PugJesus"Penny Auction" at a farm, with a noose as a warning to bank agents who might attempt to bid, Michigan, USA, Great Depression, 1936
RememberTheApollo_The “West”, Kansas and all those farming states, was actually liberal back in the day. They understood the need for government aid and services. Farmers were still regular people, farming was hard work, you weren’t gonna be rich, and having help if things went badly was important.
Shit, even West Virginia was a reliable Democrat state until the 1990s.
… conservative mass media and politicized religious revivalism has been a fucking plague.
Gotta be careful with liberal = democrat.
The democrats absolutely were not the liberals of more modern times a century ago.
